ABSTRACT:
A system and method for updating or synchronizing BIOS information for a multiple-node computer system is disclosed. Each node contains at least one processor, and a BIOS is associated with each processor. The BIOS in a node may be synchronized with the BIOS of another node such that BIOS coherence may be maintained between two or more nodes in the system. The computer system may be configured as an aggregated or partitioned system.
